Configure Account Lockout Policies in Windows Server 2019/2022
The account lockout policy in the Active Directory domain allows you to automatically lock user account if an attempt has been made to brute-force a user password. An AD domain admin can configure account locking policies using Group Policy (GPO).
By default, you can create only one password and lockout policy in AD domain. Run the Group Policy Management console (gpmc.msc), expand your domain, and find the GPO called Default Domain Policy. Right-click on object and select Edit.
